Today, as the Chicago winter sun beams into the apartment warming my skin and I contemplate my day off (I know, work Monday, then off Tuesday, what a life!), today's installment in honour of Australia Day will feature some of my favourite things from Australia, Sydney in particular.
- The scent of Eucalyptus and Frangipani's carried on the warm summer evening air.
- The beautiful glow that hangs over the Harbour at dusk.
- Campos Coffee in Newtown
- The sound of cicada's clicking as you fall asleep.
- The scent of the Beach at night, and that first feeling of a wave licking at your feet as you walk along it.
- Harry's Cafe de Wheels, and its 'Tiger'! (Meat Pie with mashed potato, mushy peas and gravy on top!)
- The walk from The Rocks to Newtown after work in the evening.
- Catching a Ferry to Manly for a lie on the beach, Hot Choccy at Max Brenner's.
- The complete Bondi to Bronte walk.
- Centennial Park, The Botanical Gardens and Hyde Park.
- The Big Day Out!- Sitting at Watson's Bay Hotel having afternoon bevies, and listening to waves crash over The Gap.
- The first sip of a beer with mates after work on a balmy evening, coupled with a Chicken Laksa from Thada Thai or a salad from Tropicana Cafe.
Song of the Day : Cowboy Games - Toni Collette and The Finish.
